Finding You// JJK FF

The Past

(This is not true. I just made it up for the story)
————————————————————————————

Jimin's pov:

"It all started when I was young. I was constantly falling sick and my parents had to constantly spend excessive money on me due to my illness, trying to find a cure but to no avail. I vomited after every meal, coughed so hard that once I even coughed out blood and I had a high fever that I almost lost my life. It carried on for years and years. My parents took care of me as I was their only son and they had to take turns to go for work.

Spending money on me to find a cure but to no avail even though we were poor made me think hard about myself.

Every night, I would lie in bed and think, 'Why am I born like this?', 'Did I do something wrong or bad in the past that I have to suffer like this? Not only am I suffering but mum and dad are too. I don't want them to suffer because of me.' , 'Why are they wasting their money on me like this even though they know that they won't be able to find a cure because this damn illness is considered as 'rare'?', 'I have to pay them back somehow. Or maybe I could become a doctor myself and find a cure for myself and also earn lots of money for them and pay them back.'

That was when I decided to become a doctor. A doctor who helps young children and cure whatever illness they have. I think that giving them love and affection will help them grow stronger and tougher and believe in themselves that they can become who they want to be in the future and never give up. To love others around them and cherish whatever that is given to them. Having supportive parents too help me. Even though they know that working in an orphanage wouldn't enable me to earn lots of money but they still encouraged me to follow my heart. That's why I chose to come onto this path."

I turned back to look at Jungkook and Haeyeon who were walking behind me and they looked at me with confused faces. I could only laugh with embarrassment for speaking too much and leaving them confused.

We headed to my office and talked for what seemed like an eternity. We exchanged handphone numbers and understood each other better and well through merely a few hours. Looking at the clock and realising that it was already six in the evening.

Jungkook's pov:

Haeyeon and I left the orphanage with a new friendship made and also the folder filled with information about Haeyeon's parents. That's when I got a text message from my mum, telling me that she got promoted and wanted to cook a scrumptious dinner for me.

I asked Haeyeon if she wanted to join my family for dinner to celebrate my mother's promotion and she gladly agreed. When we reached my home, my parents greeted her with a wide and warm smile and invited us in for dinner. As soon as Haeyeon introduced herself to my parents, I saw my mother's smile drop slightly. She started to look worried and in a state of shock.

But soon, after taking a glance at me, she pretended that she was fine and smiled as Haeyeon introduced herself more and slowly telling her plot of what she was searching for and why to my parents. My mother started to look worried as time passed by. She tried to end the conversation after dinner was over by saying that it was late and all.

After sending Haeyeon home, I went over to my mother and asked her why she her facial reaction changed when Haeyeon introduced herself to them. My mother started to tell me the reason why she reacted that way and I too was surprised.

Just then, my father came out and said, "Jungkook the reason why your Mother reacted that way was because her..."

He stopped when my Mother hit him on his arm really hard to get his attention and mouthed, 'I already told him what happened.'

He then tried to change the topic by saying, "Jungkook, please do not tell this to anyone especially your Friend. It may hurt her deeply. So please keep it a secret. Your mother only told you this now because she thought that you were old enough to handle this truth..."

"SO YOU KNEW THIS ALL ALONG?! I GET IT THAT YOU WERE AFRAID OF ME TELLING EVERYONE WHEN I'M STILL YOUNG BUT I REALLY...I really don't know what to say..."

I walked back to my room and locked the door. I laid on my bed and tears started to trail down my face as I the only thought that came out was, "so he's the one who killed them..."
